About this deal

Ultimately, the Dyson Airwrap can help you achieve a glamorous look without much fuss or effort. While some heat is present as you dry your hair, it’s nowhere as much as using ceramic hair tools, so it’s a better method for styling in terms of hair-health. The technique definitely takes some getting used to and you will need to learn how to get the best results. However, the final look is natural and holds fairly well. One of the calling cards of the AirWrap is that is uses a relatively low heat to style your hair, and we definitely noticed the difference between using the styler (which Dyson says won’t go over 150°C / 302°F) and traditional curling tongs that typically reach heats of 200°C / 392°F or more. The Dyson Airwrap is powered by the digital motor V9, which produces air pressure to create an aerodynamic phenomenon called the Coanda effect to attract and wrap hair around the barrel for you. Because the Dyson Airwrap doesn't have to rely on heat alone, the styler avoids extreme temperatures to produce voluminous, effortless curls. Can you use the Dyson Airwrap on wet hair? But (and it’s a big but), the AirWrap Styler is incredibly expensive, at around five times the price of many other hair curlers on the market.

While the blow dryer and brush attachments are pretty self explanatory, the AirWrap barrels use an interesting natural phenomenon called the ‘Coanda’ effect to curl your hair. The Coanda effect causes high speed air to follow the contours of a surface in a similar manner to a liquid - a feature also used to high effect in motor racing. Then there's the Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Curly/Coily, designed specifically for styling curly or coily hair. (I opted out of this one since, although my hair is curly, I don't heat style it when I let it go natural). That one comes with:Our hair looked shiny and healthy, and we didn’t experience the burning smells that often comes with using heated styler tools on the hair. You need to lift up a section of hair (about one inch wide is a good rule of thumb) and hold the AirWrap curling barrel about four inches away from the end of the strand. Now onto the AirWrap barrels themselves; you get four all together, two 30mm barrels for tight curls, and two 40mm barrels to create loose waves. On each of the barrels you’ll find an arrow that indicates which direction the hair will wrap around it when the styler is on; generally, you’ll want to twist your hair away from your face to create face-framing curls. How it works We held the curl until the hair was dry, and then pushed the temperature switch up to deliver a ‘cold shot’ to the hair – this helps to set the style and can make the curl look shinier. I've used my Airwrap religiously since it launched and not only has it virtually eliminated my need for salon blowouts, but I like knowing that my hair isn't getting absolutely fried as it may with traditional heat styling — one analysis by our Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab product testing pros showed that the original Airwrap with the round brush attachment reached around 158ºF at its highest temperature and airflow, which is far cooler and therefore less damaging than a flat iron or curling iron that can reach temperatures of over 350ºF .

Using traditional curling tongs can be time-consuming and damaging to your hair, but the Dyson AirWrap makes curling your hair a breeze (literally), and left the hair looking far healthier than when we has used extremely hot ceramic stylers in the past. Soft smoothing brush: As the name suggests, the soft paddle brush is designed to give even less tension than the firm brush. I found the original version of the attachment usable albeit less effective. However, the new version with improved Coanda just doesn't have the oomph I need to get my strands sleek and smooth. The resulting blowout looked a bit frayed and frizzy. I won't reach for this one again.Improved firm and soft smoothing brushes: The upgrade also includes paddle brushes that have more movement and noticeably stronger suction in what the brand calls "enhanced Coanda airflow [which] attracts and aligns hair with increased control for a straighter style." The hair wraps around the barrel, and you can move said barrel towards your head to encourage the whole strand to curl. Even with its imperfections, the Airwrap has a cult following for a reason. And in the GH Beauty Lab, we can't get enough. That said, the tool isn't without flaws. Aside from the sky-high price point, there's a substantial learning curve when it comes to adapting to the innovative technology at first — it took me a matter of months, not days, to really figure it out. And not every attachment is a fit for everyone: I really only ever use the smoothing attachment, the curling barrels, the round brush and the firm smoothing brush. You'll also have to consider your hair type and what you're trying to achieve: While my hair happens to hold a curl well, the Airwrap might not be right for you if your hair struggles to hold a style as the gentle heat may not be strong enough to set a style (although that can be improved by using styling products like a mousse or using the curling attachments on damp hair). Lastly, if you don't plan on styling your hair with the device regularly, it may not wind up being worth the cost.

The Styler itself consists of silver cylinder, around 10 inches long, with a cerise band around the top where the different attachments slot into. At the bottom you have a power cable to connect it to the mains. Even though we were impressed with the results, we felt that the AirWrap is better suited to longer hairstyles, particularly when it comes to the curling barrels – if you have hair shorter than shoulder-length, you may find it difficult to encourage your hair to wrap around the barrels.Learn more about the Dyson Styler with our Dyson Airwrap review and you can also see the best Dyson Supersonic prices and sales.
